Apple Watch Time Travel Anticipates Daylight Saving Time

While some part of the world has already switched away from Daylight saving time, it’s time for the US to join the lines, this weekend, exactly one week after all Europeans have turned back their clocks, with one hour, during the last Sunday of October. With all the technology available nowadays, it’s very hard to get caught off guard by the end of the Daylight saving time. iPhones and all other smartphones and computers are fully aware of the upcoming change and will automatically adjust their internal clocks.

The same goes with the Apple Watch. This is the first time change that many of us will experience, since the release of Apple’s revolutionary wearable. As experienced by many watchOS owners from Europe, the wrist-worn device automatically falls back and adjust to the new time. In the United States 2 am becomes 1 am this Sunday, November 1st. You’ll be able to preview this change with the help of the Time Travel feature!
